Excited to announce the beta release of our new MicrobiomeDB R package! This package is intended to be companion to our @microbiomeDB website and provides convenient, programmatic access to all of our curated 16S and shotgun metagenomic datasets. #microbiome #rstats #dataviz

Cryptosporidium genetics really works! Latest cross explains why tb drug failed in crypto clinical trial. Widespread genomic heterogeneity at the type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase locus predisposes Cryptosporidium to clofazimine resistance @millseba biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Due to the #trumptarrifs, @Illumina announces surcharges on all consumables (5%), instruments (2-9%) and services (3.5%). A big hit to labs that are already struggling to do genomics work in an environment with severely reduced federal funding bit.ly/3GHu6GE

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

Very excited to team up with @MichaelEMann to host @PeterHotez at @pennvet this evening for a public lecture on vaccination in a time of rising anti-science rhetoric and policies.

Fun personal note: shoutout to @hostmicrobe for sparking my interest in single-cell analysis. Much progress since @MBLBoP 2022, but it all began one summer evening in the lab exploring parasite single-cell data. Inspirational teacher :)


Loving the vibe over at Bsky🦋! More science. Less cesspool. Starter packs make it easy to connect with colleagues If ur new to🦋, I thought this article was a nice breakdown of why it might be a platform that is better/different than this place bit.ly/41gHaev

Farming a single Atlantic salmon can require killing and processing over 1,000 wild school fish like anchovies — critical prey for sea lions, sea birds, penguins, and whales. Cool to see journalists visualize their own interpretations of our data:

Cool to see journalists visualize their own interpretations of our data:

Fish farming is supposed to give overexploited oceans a break. But a new study finds that it may be taking way more fish out of oceans to feed farmed fish than previously thought. New story of mine up on Vox today, replete with new charts: vox.com/future-perfect…

Thx @hostmicrobe ☺️ Your incredible contribution and collaborations were hugely impactful on the lab 👏 and generations of trainees learning high quality transcriptomic analysis including R from scratch giving trainees the power, skills, and confidence to dive into their data 🤯


Huge congrats to @EJohnWherry (@pennmedicine) and @TheBaleLab (formerly @pennvet and now at @CUAnschutz) on their recent election to the National Academy of Medicine! Grateful for their mentoring, collaboration, and friendship over the years.

Six Penn experts have been elected to the National Academy of Medicine for their groundbreaking contributions to cardiology, nursing, health justice, and more. Read more below: spr.ly/6017qxqI1

This would allow seniors to keep billions of dollars of their retirement, remain independent longer, not burden their children with providing care, and means money left to pass on instead of their inheritance going to the owners of nursing homes. It builds generational wealth.
